Tinus Luc Koblar

Coming in at seven, TLK is a strong consensus player at at least seventh.

His weighted average of 8.34 is a very large 3.2 points above Jacob Quillan at eighth. This is the largest jump on the vote ranking and marks a clear and dramatic line between the middle tier and everyone above.

Emil Andrae

Heavily ranked in the top five, and with a weighted average of 18.41, Andrae is close to Koblar, but still shows a clear jump up.

Artur Akhtyamov

The biggest difference between the two lists in this part of the ranking is how high Akhtyamov is here compared to the official vote.

Not quite clearly ranked over Andrae, and with a ranking average of 18.82, that's almost a tie.

Ben Danford

Ranked fourth, and with a weighted average almost one full point higher than Akhtyamov 19.68, there were still a lot of people who had him fifth or sixth. Note the y-axis on the last two. These are strongly held consensus choices.

And that's this week. As should be obvious, next week the top three is drawn from the same group on both lists. And that's not very unusual for recent T25s. See you next week as we reveal those three and wrap up with the full lists of votes.
